Pipe Cutting
Step 1: Cut Pipe
1. When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut
and flare them properly. This will help to ensure the piping
has an airtight seal, which can affect operation efficiency
and the need for future maintenance.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor
units.
3. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than
the measured distance.
4. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle.
Refer to Fig. 2.9 for cut examples.

Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform
the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce
the heating efficiency of the unit.
Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can affect the airtight seal of the refrigerant piping
connection. They must be completely removed.
1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs
from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from
the cut section of the pipe. Refer to Fig. 2.10
3. After removing burrs from the cut pipe, seal the ends
with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering
the pipe.
